Bach Mai, too, has actually remained in that state of mind. "This in 2013 has been actually the hardest of my life," stated Mai backstage just before his personal program. "It's more challenging than ever before for youthful designers today." For springtime, then, Mai anxiously required a state of mind boost in his workshop-- and also he located his joy and happiness through infusing his trademark evening wear and also welcome mat dress along with a massive dosage of intense, encouraging shades.
